Answer 1

You have GOT to be kidding???

Go to your local welfare office. If you are earning as little as you claim you DO qualify for Food Stamps at the very least.

Answer 2

Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you and your mom qualify for food card (food stamp) assistance, as well as other social services.  Your 88 year old mother is probably eligible for elder assistance and other services as well.  You should seek out a community services organization local to you (check local nonprofits) that offer case management, and they will be able tohelp you determine what assistance you are eligible to receive, and how to make the applicaiton.
